Ximenez:
even if you played 0 game you'll still get your medal as long as you are in the squad. But does that make you a good player? No the point I'm trying to make here is simple. Good players don't sit on the bench and if a coach decides to put a good player on the bench the player will leave and go play first team football elsewhere, even if it's on loan, some players won't even come to your club if you can't guarantee them a start. It's obvious from the nicknames Mikel has accrued over the years from Snail, to slowbi and bench warmer. I'm too lazy right now, of not i would have googled the number of times Mikel started a match for Chelsea (not coming of the bench) the number of times he was on the bench and the number of times he didn't even make the match day squad.

now I know u don't know anything bout football, just wasted my precious tym with u.
for ur info if u don't play up to ten league games for ur team you will not collect title medal.

Lol. People don't earn £40k in a lifetime let alone £140k.

Some ppl don't also earn £20k in a lifetime, how about that? You can either choose to be mediocre or cash in on the situation. His agent didn't do well.

ajoskele:
Bros, I noh too know calculation oo buh na over 100milla per week be dat oo

Brother forget that thing, his mates are earning double

Atayis:
Thank you jare. Mikel played in the champion league, europa, the F A cup finals 2007 against man u, 2009 against Everton, 2012 against liverpool and some people are calling him a benchwarmer

most of the guys talking are just Mikel haters.

Do you know the meaning of anything? I doubt that but that doesn't change the fact that Mikel was not good enough for Chelsea that Chelsea kept on buying players while keeping him on the bench, in his whole career in the premier league 10+ years , Mikel has one goal and 10 assists. This season alone Nemanja Matic has 5 assists.

Someone mentioned that Matic was once used as a part exchange for David Luiz, yes that's true, because Matic at that time was not at his best, not good enough, but he went to Benfica and developed himself as a midfielder, same thing as Pogba, Man u allowed him to go on a free tensfer to Juve he changed and came good to become the world most expensive player. But Mikel is stagnant.

Do you think chinese club are just dashing money? If yes, most of the players will ve moved to china. Tell me, the number of teams that are paying extravagantly in china and the players that receive such. For Mikel to have buyer means he is g good and competent player. Don't forget their are some players that sign contract through trial

Ximenez:
Why do you think he will be collecting 140k in China at 29? as a player just leaving one of the biggest club in Europe

drss2:

Mikel might have been a great player, we are all gonna be what we are gonna be, using Mou as an excuse is not it, why didn't he leave Chelsea, why didn't he tell the coach. Abeg our destiny is in our hands, Gareth Bale used to play left back, Torres used to be a goal keeper.

Ibra rejected China at 35 with big money, maybe x5 of what they offered Mikel , CR7 rejected them. Do you know why?

dinno500:


wich career
mikel no get any career again
he don win nearly all d titles

lols u harsh small o

Conte can not regret anything, he has gotten this far without Mikel, we are in the January transfer window and there is money to buy if need be. Football has evolved we don't need a specialist in passing the ball back. No more static traditional DM (go and watch Kante's goal against Man U) 10 assists in 10+years in the premier league and 1 goal haba!

frenchwine:

Brother forget that thing, his mates are earning double

There are many of his mates earning less too.
How about that?

It is a fallacy

Ximenez:

Arsenal, Marseille or Inter wouldn't have paid up to that wage. Moreover i think he thought through his options before making his move to China.

frenchwine:

Forget that tin, others are going to China for double and triple that amount.
He could have gotten a similar deal in other European leagues instead of going to the mediocre Chinese league for same.

How much are you earning?are you not his mate?

frenchwine:

Brother forget that thing, his mates are earning double

Afam4eva:
Where do these Chinese people get their money from? Is there league lucrative that they pay players exorbitant amounts.

the chinese football clubs are been aided by the chinese government.

You think Mikel will make Arsenal first team? You funny o

Ximenez:
and you think Mikel played in the champions League final because he is first choice? No my brother. The favorites were suspended for the match. Ramires and Meireles. I still remember Ramires goal against Barcelona (Mikel would have passed that Lampard's through pass backward) I also remember Meireles goal against Benfica, that is cracker of a shot (Mikel doesn't have that technique, everybody knows that)

You guys won't ki me with laughter

frenchwine:

Do you know that's his net income ??

He won't be earning more than 30,000£ when tax collectors come

Wish him all the best in China.

He has played his part and would be remembered for something in Chelsea.

There's no official statement on the transfer figures, nor his wages, nevertheless he has taken the best decision, having weighed all the options available, so let's respect his decision.


For the records, Mikel was an integral part of the UCL in 2012, he didn't play because some players were unavailable. He played in the quarter and semifinals. Let's not misrepresent facts.

Ximenez:
Yea, and you know so much about football, even more than the past and present Chelsea coaches and to set the record right, I'm a Chelsea fan and i have been for a while now. Please remind me of one unique trait Mikel has as a midfielder, and tell me why Chelsea keep on buying midfielders even when Mikel was available, and tell me why China is only offering him 140k per week if they don't know his worth. Like i said Mikel played the final because of suspensions to Ramires and Meireles.

Haba!honestly u don't know football and u are here ranting.Mikel played champions league final coz of Ramirez and Meirelez suspended showed that u know nothing about football and should bury your head in shame.

Pls go to archive and stop talking thrash here.Did u watch Barca vs Chelsea 2012 champions league both legs,despite meireles and Ramirez on d field,we still have Mikel archon DM,also against Benfica Quarter final both legs,Mikel played as DM.Did u know Mikel came into contention against Napoli in d 2nd leg when Di matteo dropped Essien for Mikel and Essien warmed d bench all through to d final.

If u don't know Bosingwa replace Ivanovic while Kalou came in for Ramirez in d final and u are here telling us u know football.

Na wa ooo, which kain dulling contract be that one.
Wetin even concern me, I wouldn't get a kobo for all my worries

It's my opinion and sometimes i back it up with numbers and statistics, i don't hate Mikel, i think i like him as a person but as a footballer, not that much. If i were to be a footballer and a midfielder i wouldn't want to be like Mikel and have the kind of career he's having, the thought of me even playing like him is a turn off. Luka Modric doesn't have as many trophies as Mikel but he's a good footballer and indispensable

Kiki kiki .That's what u get when u pass the ball back .

I only pity his kids .They will be talking chin Chong li and won't have British accent .

Omg that's so funny and hilarious. But how come Nigeria coaches like him?

For all of u wey dey shout say 140000£ per week too small.... well most of u r just novice o. in case u Neva do d maths, check d amount for naija naira... more than 70million naira weekly is a very big dough to make. Congrats Mikel.




Well, if u no quote me, who you wan resemble. You are free o.

ajoskele:

Heheheh depends on which angle you look at it, half full or half empty. I choose to see my cup half full.
Nigerians would say at all at all, na im bad, that's how Mikel's career has been, warming the bench for the better part of his career. Whatever rocks his boat sha.
Brother today is Friday, no find my trouble ooo

Stop lying my guy,if u know football,pls come to super eagle 2018 world cup thread on nairaland and come and learn thorough schooling on analysis,statistics and many more

Let him just be careful cus that was where dem baba got serious injury.

mrdashing10:
How much are you earning?are you not his mate?

Brother when we use comparative analysis, I don't expect you to recline to literal analysis.
Mikel is a soccer player with over a decade of experince. Going to China for "cheap" is the last you'd expect for a retiring sportsman who has seen it all. The only thing that makes it understandable is that he is a Nigerian, Nigerians are known to settle for less as many have been showing on this thread already.
I'm a professional in my own field, i earn 50kobo which is comparatively ok for my level of experience, I wouldn't settle for less cos I know my worth.
I hope that answers your question
